In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“Trust in government comes from openness and accountability. I want to make it easier for people to see where their money goes, how decisions are made, and who's responsible for the outcomes.”
“I'm running for Congress because I believe regular people deserve a voice that isn't filtered through political parties or big donors. My goal is to listen to the people I represent and make sure their voices guide the decisions that shape our future.”
